Chapter 1341 Born at the Wrong Time
The night of February 3rd was the New Year's Eve of the Xinwei Year in the Flower Growing Family. Because the first satellite TV station in the Flower Growing Family had not yet appeared at that time, no one could watch the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. However, this did not prevent Li Ye and others from organizing their own gala.
Then Li Ye was scolded by several sisters in the inspection team.
"Li Ye, you have to put on a show tonight. I was almost fooled by you, and you even said you don't understand art."
“Well, I really don’t understand art.”
"You don't understand art? Don't you know how to break dance? You've learned to lie at such a young age?"
“How did you know that?”
"How do I know this? Someone in your company complained to their superiors about you teaching workers to dance during working hours instead of doing your job. Do you think everyone knows this?"
“.”
As soon as Li Ye heard this, he knew who had done this evil deed. It could only be Niu Hongzhang.
So he could only say awkwardly, "We have guests coming today, and it wouldn't be dignified for me to jump up and down."
"Young people are full of energy when they jump around! Besides, they are guests from the Industrial Bureau. You are all familiar with them. What is there to be embarrassed about? You must go on stage today. If you don't agree, I will do your wife's job."
“.”
Li Ye was really helpless.
I don’t know when it started, but the “big sisters” in various groups of the flower-growing family have automatically gained great say in such collective activities. Moreover, their style is very overbearing, and the arrangements they make are like imperial decrees that cannot be opposed.
In fact, Li Ye did not feel embarrassed about performing on stage, but the news brought to him by Zelyushhenko made him in a bad mood these days.
Despite the opposition of many workers, the restructuring of the Kamaz Automobile Factory was still forced to move forward. However, due to the deliberate misleading propaganda of some people, the workers of the Kamaz Automobile Factory finally turned their attention to the delegation where Li Ye was.
They believed that it was because of the deception of Li Ye and others that they missed the good opportunity of British Cos Company and failed to sell their stocks at a good price.
After all, at the beginning, Zelyushinko encouraged everyone to sell their stocks to Koshi Company, but in the middle he suddenly supported cooperation with Li Ye. However, in the end Li Ye "changed his mind". Zelyushinko was neither a popular person nor a popular person, and Li Ye was even less so.
You said that Sophia and others will come to visit later, and Li Ye will have to go on stage to dance for them to entertain them. It would be strange if he could be in a good mood!
But when Sophia arrived, everyone welcomed her warmly. Even the young wife Wen Leyu was very close to her. The two of them were talking and cuddling like good friends who had known each other for many years.
Because the contract between the delegation and the metal smelter has been formally drawn up, the smelter has transferred its most core technology and also provided a batch of materials, equipment and technical guidance. The entire project is almost like "half sale and half give away".
In this transaction, Sophia played a key role. If we just talk about it from a business perspective, Li Ye must admit that Sophia really made him "get what he wanted".
So in the eyes of Director Liang and others, Sofia is everyone's good friend. As for the workers of the Kamaz Automobile Factory, outsiders really can't help.
When he just came back from the market, Li Ye confided this problem to Wen Leyu, and Wen Leyu asked Li Ye a question very directly.
[If this incident happened in our country from another perspective, would you allow an outsider to dictate the conduct of your own business? ]
Yes! The Kamaz Automobile Factory belongs to someone else. They can do whatever they want with it. Do you think it's your turn as a flower grower to interfere?
Just take care of yourself.
But soon after Sophia arrived, before she could even enjoy Li Ye's breakdance, she quietly went aside to have a private conversation with Deputy Director Liang.
After a long time, Liang Furu called Li Ye and several engineers over with a stern face.
"Kamaz Automobile Factory has agreed to transfer a batch of technical data to us. You are now following the comrades from the Industrial Bureau to transport the data and equipment to the storage warehouse of the metal smelting plant cooperation project."
"Now?"
Li Ye was surprised. Today is New Year's Eve, and you still want us to work overtime?
But the others had no objection and accepted the task immediately, so Li Ye had no choice but to follow them.
It was already dark outside. The group arrived at the Kamaz Automobile Factory in the dark. Seeing the eerie silence around them, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
[Are they here to transfer technology or to steal things? ]
Because the scene was so weird.
For a cooperative project like this, shouldn't the handover be accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, waving colorful flags, and the leaders of both sides shaking hands warmly, laughing and taking photos?
Why does it seem like the scene is deliberately under martial law?
But when everyone saw the factory director Sumenkov and tons of drawings already loaded onto the truck in bundles, like beautiful and charming girls waiting for you to turn over their cards, all their concerns and doubts disappeared.
The girl has come to my door wearing all her white clothes and a piece of gauze, and you are pretending to be Liu Xiahui?
Let’s go ahead and talk about it later.
Sophia glanced at Sumenkov and said calmly, "Is the technical data for the gearbox and multi-axle drive technology included?"
Sumenkov replied respectfully: "They are already inside, in cars number four and six."
Sophia waved to Li Ye's group and said, "You can leave now."
“.”
What else can I say? It would be disrespectful to refuse it, so I can only accept it with a smile!
However, the delegation did not expect that there would be so much information and mold equipment, so there were not enough truck drivers to accompany them, and Li Ye could only play the role of a truck driver.
Then, Sophia got into Li Ye's car.
Li Ye was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. He just followed the car in front and drove to the cooperative warehouse of Tula Metal Smelter.
But after a moment of silence, Sofia asked Li Ye: "Have you seen Zelyushchenko recently?"
Li Ye turned his head and glanced at her, then asked calmly, "How do you know I've seen him? Are you spying on me?"
In fact, what Li Ye wanted to ask was "Are you an agent?" After all, Sumenkov's attitude towards her just now was not like that of an official from the Industrial Bureau.
“Heh~”
Sophia smiled and said, "I am a good friend of your wife, how could I spy on you? Don't doubt me."
【It would be strange if I didn’t doubt you! 】
Li Ye said calmly: "I have indeed met Zelyushenko. Do you have any advice for me?"
"Li, you are really smart."
Sofia praised Li Ye and said, "Maybe Zelyushchenko said something bad about me to you, but I have proved my sincerity with my actions, so you should know who you are standing with now, right?"
Should I stand with you?
Li Ye suddenly felt confused.
He originally came here to buy at the bottom and pick up bargains, and now hasn't Sophia helped him get what he wanted smoothly?
As for those workers who are suffering, should they be held responsible?
Li Ye sighed and said helplessly: "After these technical data are transferred to us, how much of the materials we paid for will end up in the hands of the workers?"
Sophia looked at Li Ye quietly, as focused as an artist appreciating a masterpiece.
Li Ye remained unmoved by her eyes that were still shining in the dark, and continued to drive forward steadily.
After a long while, Sophia said calmly: "Li, you are a true XXist fighter, but unfortunately, just like an idiom in your flower-growing family, you were born in the wrong era."
"Haha~, are you talking about being born at the wrong time?"
"Yes, I was born at the wrong time, Li, you are really smart!"
“.”
Li Ye suddenly laughed.
Because he felt that Sophia was clearly mocking him for wanting it all.
"Sophia, you are right. I was born in the wrong era."
Li Ye felt relieved.
He was born in a harmonious and stable era decades later, and was shaped by the whole society into a way of thinking that was different from the current one. This kind of thinking made him feel very kind and comfortable when interacting with Wen Leyu and other classmates.
But when he was in the chaotic environment of Su'e's collapse, he lacked a bit of "ruthlessness".
